Sector Entries/ Holding Patterns

I hope somebody can assist with this.
On our Oz approach plates all the Sector Entries associated with Holding patterns are clearly marked and deciding which entry you make is relatively simple. However there are a number of Jepp Charts when operating outside Oz that just depict the Holding Patterns but with no sector entries drawn.
The problem occurs when an entry to the pattern could be close to being either a Sector 1 or Sector 2 entry and where the mental gymnastics come in to play constructing the sector entry boundaries in your head.
Is there some way that you can mentally construct the boundaries by just looking at a 360* compass rose without resorting to pen and paper and drawing the entries before determining which entry that should be performed.

Thanks.
